Wednesday Workout
When I got to Crossfit Impavidus, I thought i was the only one for the workout. Thankfully Angela showed up so I didn’t have to face the WOD alone! It’s hard to have the coach just focused on you — trust me, it’s happened before and I don’t like it! Warmup 20 jumping jacks broad…

Good Posture Homework
One of the things I love about CrossFit Impavidus is that depending on the coach, you learn different skills. They have a coach, Nate, who likes to teach mobility and Olympic lifting – we have a great trainer, Laurie, who trains those wanting to do triathlons and is a runner herself. Jerry is a former…

Mother Nature switches it Up: Evening Workout for me
I just got back from the 630P CrossFit Impavidus workout because of the weather this morning. I don’t like working out in the evening — my mind can’t seem to wrap its head around the whole concept of the workout and what we are learning and what we are supposed to do. It just seems…

Weekend Workout to start off the day —
